impressed with my hunka. waterproof and robust but also not heavy. I wish I had gone for the hunka xl as its a bit snug if I try and fit a large sleep mat in it.

Great bits of kit.  I don’t think there is a better priced product available for the weight.  Imagine if it was made from eVENT?  It would be more expensive, granted, just as tough but even lighter!!

I can’t wait to test this bivy cover! In the Alps!

Quick delivery, spent a night in the wind and rain on carnedd llewelyn and I was warm and dry in the morning quality piece of kit for the money!

Ordered at 11.45am, arrived next morning 9.20.

Surprised at how small the packet was (good) and mine came in at 418 grams, just over half the weight of the army bivi bag it’s going to replace - a big saving considering the price.

I thought it stuffed into the sewn-in sack quite easily - I ended up with a ball about the size of a very small melon, though it also folds flat very nicely to about the size of a pair of rain trousers (excuse the metaphors) and you can hear the air being pushed out. It’s very breathable.

Not used it yet, though I’m looking forward to it as dozens of reviews already say how good this product is.

Thanks again Alpkit.

Ordered my Hunka, it arrived a couple of days dater. Out in the woods that night.

Brilliant bivvy bag for the money. Would’ve been pleased if it cost twice as much… No condensation, and has served me well in the Surrey Hills in the past month (I’m out a fair bit).

Love the fact that it stuffs small, too. A real lifesaver. Now I have my eye on one of the Alpkit goose-down bags, and maybe some titanium bits…

Came virtually the next day and just in time for our latest Wild Camp adventure up in the wilds of Teesdale.

Just what I was after, simple but effective and economical protection for my very expensive down sleeping bag. We have 2 dogs which can be a problem when you’re trying to protect your kit but with the Hunka that’s now history.

Two points worth noting:-

A) No great surprise but the midges did attack and successfully “peppered” my exposed face during the night.

B) Because it’s quite a large down bag when “fluffed up” the standard Hunka was a tad tight causing what I felt to be a couple of cold spots - this could I’m sure be alleviated through the use of the Hunka XL, which I have just bought for my 6’3” husband!

A great product. Thank you.

The usual quick delivery from Alpkit and used the bivy bag for the first time last night on an iron-age hillfort in Scotland.  Very warm and no condensation.  Briliant!

Took delivery of the Hunka one working day after ordering then used it on the Cuillin Ridge with a down sleeping bag. I found the Hunka to be light and adequately sized and it performed perfectly on a dry cool night with no condensation problems. Perhaps not a severe test but all in all excellent value and service.

Features at a glance

  • Waterproof - Yes, the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, basically like your tents groundsheet
  • Breathable - Yes, the fabric has a moisture vapour permeability (MVP) of 10,000g/m2/24hr
  • Low weight and bulk - We weighed 10 and the average was 388g
  • Integral stuff pocket - On the base of the bag is a mesh bag that you stuff the bivvy bag into, so no stuffsack to lose
  • Dual drawcord - You can close from either side or both so suitable for left and right handers and if you sleep on your front as I do then no toggle to press into your chest bone
  • Hooded design - Although lighter, some of the more basic bivi bags don't offer quite the same usabilty. The hood design allows you to overlap the opening making it more weather proof, however this design only has a drawcord so in heavy and direct rain you may get wet. The shaped hood is also good in snowy bivis where loose snow tries to get in your bag all the time
